Do employers still request transcripts?

Just curious, do employers still request transcripts to verify education, or do they just do that through background check?

Also, at what stage can I officially leave my GPA off of my resume. Currently a AN1 in IB and looking to lateral.

You wouldn’t be able to leave your gpa off anytime soon. Possibly after year 5 but even around then and especially now employers will always assume the worst and ask about it anyways.
Unless you have below a 3.0, I would highly suggest leaving it on. I don’t have any insight on transcript requests but I also wouldn’t recommend lying about your GPA.

 

Thanks for the insight. It’s not bad but pretty mediocre and just don’t think it defines me.

 

Completely irrelevant for a lateral move. Don’t worry about it.
